We are pleased to write that after years of lobbying by the Family Law Practitioner’s Association of Western Australia, new laws have been passed through the State Parliament to allow former de facto couples in Western Australia to split their superannuation during property settlement. Prior to this reform only married couples in Western Australia could split their superannuation, the new laws will reform this outdated practice.
